So I get a call from this woman who wants to be taken off our mailing list. That's fine, I get calls like this one all day. It's to be expected after a 6,000,000 piece mailing goes out, which just happened. But she won't stop talking, and all she wants to talk about is how its all Obama's fault. I don't know even know what "it" is that she meant, but she was adamant that "it" was all his fault.
"Take us off your mailing list, we can't donate because of Obama. My husband has to lay off people at his work because of Obama. We're not giving to any charities this year because of Obama." And on and on. That's me paraphrasing of course, her actual diatribe was much more detailed and offensive.
I had to interrupt her anti-Obama tirade in order to fulfill her request - It's kind of hard to take someone off a mailing list if you don't know who they are. Stop Obama-ing me to death and tell me your name!
It was extraordinarily difficult not to say something nasty back to her. Whatever your political views are, what is it that makes you want to call a perfect stranger on the phone and beat them over the head with your views? It's a bit inappropriate, not to mention contrary to your supposed purpose for calling.
If you'd like to mail something to her, her name and address are as follows:
Really Stupid Lady
New York, NY 10016
Ok, no. I did have her name and address but I could probably get into trouble for sharing. But boy is it tempting!
